“Time bends. Space folds. Let’s see what else we can break.”
You are part of a patient, elite cabal of magical minds probing the unstable frontiers of time, space, and possibility. Dunamancy is not merely a school of magic—it is the grand thesis of existence. Your mentors may be centuries into their research, and you are but a footnote… for now. But your potential burns like an unstable star, ready to reshape the weave.
- Ability Scores: Intelligence and Charisma
- Feat: Fey Touched – Your research has unlocked your mind to strange magical effects.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana and [Tooltip Not Found]
- Tool Proficiencies: Tinker's tools or alchemist's supplies
- Languages: Elvish or Deep Speech
- Equipment: An experimental arcane focus, a crystalline stopwatch that doesn’t tick, a lab robe with inkstains, a sample of a dunamantic material, and 10 gp.
You have access to the notes and arcane libraries of your order, and can request (often delayed) assistance in research or experimentation. You are welcome in academic circles of advanced magic.
